thyebalm mentioned it in the prospect tracking thread, but Gaudreau gets a lot of comparisons to Paul Karyia.
IMO thats a pretty fair comparison as they play similar style games, though I think Karyia was able to shoot the puck far better than Gaudreau can and probably is a better goal scorer.
OT but Karyia had 100pts in 39 games in the Hockey East conference (same conference Gaudreau plays in) for his draft year. Gaudreauby Baker has a lot of work to do yet!
